Default What has eaten my tulip bulbs?

Some clumps have come up, some haven't or just have weak leaves. On
closer inspection the bulbs are completely gone and there are holes in
the ground around 1 - 2 inches diameter near them. The few sick looking
leaves remaining aren't attached to anything.

I planted tulips in pots a few years ago. The same thing happened;
holes, no bulbs I never see squirrels, but do see mice. I guessed it
was the miche which ate my bulbs.

It's Voles - they had a field day, running around unmolested under the
snow. They wiped out my Jap.anemomes and it looks as though they might
have killed a few of my young apple trees.
